[Intermaxillary immobilization using ring-screws in adults].
We have been unsatisfied with the mandibular ligatures (binding) using Ivy type steel dental wire alone or with arch bars. The principal risks are: instability of ligature in patients with missing teeth AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections periodental lesions We propose the use of anterior titanium implant screws or the monocortical "piton" which have been used up till now in maxillofacial bone reconstruction. Eight patients in one year have benefited from this procedure. This involved the implant of 32 "pitons" in fractured jaws and, for this study, in parasymphyseal areas
